SBS is looking for new talent again

In the “Advising, Guidance, and Support for Students” component of the “Diversity as a Strength” project, the focus is on professionally guided student academic support. The goal is to support, guide, and advise students as they begin their studies.

SbS (Students Advise Students) was successfully developed and tested at the Faculty of Social Sciences and then expanded to all faculties at the university. All student academic mentors receive professional training and guidance throughout the project’s duration and, in addition to a free continuing education opportunity in the areas of higher education policy, university structure, as well as counseling and communication skills, a certificate, personal references, and a platform to get involved and try new things. Participation in the project primarily strengthens and expands students’ social skills, which are playing an increasingly important role in all areas of practice, research, and professional life. Moreover, the students themselves are the good experts on questions regarding day-to-day academic life, academic organization, and student life.

Do you want to be part of this successful program and support incoming first-semester students with advice and practical help? Are you on campus this semester and next (Summer 2015 and Winter 2015/16), do you enjoy networking, are you a good communicator, and would you like to get involved? Then you’re exactly the right person for the “Students Advise Students” project.

Would you like to support us or learn more about the project? Then simply get in touch with us by April 19. Contact us now and become part of a great project at your university!
